It seems safe to assume that, as with racial powers and other material not explicitly repeated from the PH, that Realms elves have lifespans similar to those given in the core source (and the wording in the drow entry seems to support that assumption).
Thus:
Moon/Silver and Sun/Gold Elves (eladrin) "enjoy youth and health for most of their lives and don't begin to feel the effects of age until the middle of their third century. Most live for over 300 years, and even at the end they suffer few of the infirmities of old age." (PH, p. 39)
Wood and Wild Elves (elves) "mature at about the same rate as humans, but show few effects of age past adulthood. The first sign of an elf's advancing age is typically a change in hair color--sometimes graying but usually darkening or taking on more autumnal hues. Most elves live to be well over 200 years old and remain vigorous almost to the end." (PH, p. 41)
and
Dark Elves (drow) "general[ly]...have lives spans somewhat longer than those of their surface-dwelling cousins. Drow who manage to avoid dying a violent death can live for well over 200 years, and exceptional members of the race measure their age in centuries." (FRPG, p. 9)
I wonder how my hair would look with "more autumnal hues" instead of with this Reed Richards thing I've got going on. 
Thanks for the info. Okay, hate to say this, but by 4e standards, Elaith is WAY past his expiration date. |

Yes, Chris, they give that information. But they don't give an idea of how long their elderly are. When's middle age? They throw out a couple of numbers, but don't hint at the big question.
Not too mention, given the ruleset, there's no ill effects for aging. So, even if Elaith is 700 years past the 300 mentioned in the book, he's still able to function the same as a 100 year old elf.
Ugh, so didn't want to rant on Elaine's thread.
Elaine, how's the work going on the Pathfinder books?
Also, any details you can give us on Blood Oath? |

Why, yes--yes I can, and thanks for asking. I'll type quickly, so I can post this before the off-topic police knock on my door. 
BLOOD OATH is a standalone novel focusing on the adventures (and misadventures) of Zekk, a Jedi Knight best known for his uncertain relationship with Jaina Solo. The story picks up right after the events of INVINCIBLE, the last book in the Legacy of the Force series, when Zekk went missing in action. The search for him uncovers something . . . else. Something that has been kept hidden for thousands of years.
Also, Zekk gets to take names and kick asteroids. Good times.
The Pathfinder Journal fiction is coming along well. The first episode, which I believe will be published in the January edition, has been completed. I'll be finishing up the other five episodes in October. I like Channa Ti, the first person POV character. She's a half-elf druid with an affinity for water and a strong identification with nature's preditors. Her heritage is a bit odd--a human woman from Geb and a male elf from the Mwangi Expanse. She was raised by elves and it's pretty apparent that she doesn't like them, but she doesn't go into personal history. She's bad-ass when she has to be, more curious than a Siamese, and keeps going despite the fact that she expects to be betrayed (and is seldom disappointed.) |

Heh.
Ouch. First a smile, then a flash-back to zucchini season, during which I made, among many many other things, no fewer than four chocolate zucchini bundt cakes. The zucchini vines in my garden are no longer spewing forth short green baseball bats on a daily basis, all (spellplague surviving) gods be praised.
But Pathfinder really isn't a zucchini kind of setting, is it? It's more along the lines of dark chocolate served straight up: probably an intense chocolate cake with fudge frosting, maybe some espresso-spiked ganache filling to add an edge.

Anyway, because it's you, I think I'll pick up Blood Oath. No one else would I have done that for. No one else. |

All bitterness that they turned Jason into a Sith and then killed him aside, I really enjoyed the Legacy of the Force and you and your fellow FR authors' (RAS, Troy Denning, and any that I cannot remember) work in the SW universe. I think that fantasy authors (Michael Stackpole included here) for the most part make better SW authors (Timothy Zhan is just amazing though, and I think he strictly does SF). To hear that you have another novel and that Paul Kemp is joining the League of Star Wars Authors has me quite excited!  |

Oooh! More Zekk action. Sounds good.
So, Elaine, I'm assuming this standalone novel will sit comfortably between the end of the "Legacy of the Force" series and the start of the 9-book "Fate of the Jedi" series starting in April '09? |

Good day lady Elaine, i have read your work in the realms for many years now and i would like to say thank you very much. You have put in my heart several characters who evan after closeing the book they still dance in my dreams, there stories unfolding chapter after chapter!
If you can help me I also have a couple of questions concerning the house Xorlarrin of Menzoberranzan. First do you have any further information on the now lich Kharza-kzad Xorlarrin? Any supporting information like will the house accept him now that he is a lich, what spell level he was able to cast or any aims that he might now have? Do you have any further lore into this house, evan a little ingformation on the day to day activities or relations between the Female dominate clerics and the Powerfull wizards of the house?
I wish to unfold an upcoming drow campaign to my players as they wish to play these little devils and i have ran multiple campaigns about them in the past. I would like to create as much depth as i can, yet would like to see if i can get some inspiration from here if i can. Regardless of what you can share Elaine again thank you for your stories, i will look forward to your future work regardless of the background you write in:) |

Hi, dfemling. Thanks for the kind words.
Unfortunately, I don't have any info on Kharza-kzad or his house beyond that which has been published. And since I've been out of the drow business for a while, I'm not really current on developments in Menzoberranzan.
Has the lich in question been mentioned in books or game products set after Daughter of the Drow? If anyone reading this can shed some light on the matter, I'd appreciate your input.
If not, consider it an opportunity to indulge in a little world-building of your own.
If I were going to develop Kharza, I think I'd be inclined toward acting on an ephiphany. He was a scholar, a wizard more interested in the research than the results. He never killed another sentient being until he did so, magically, to get Liriel to safety. His first battle was his last. I wouldn't be at all surprised if he went back to his study after the battle that resulted in his death and lichdom, looked at the books and spell components and said, "You know, screw this. Now that I'm dead, I'm going to start LIVING." And then have him throw himself into a something that requires risks, adventure, intrigue. |

For the record, that was meant to be droll, not snarky. It's hard to tell how online comments will translate.
To respond more fully (and appropriately), I like Golarion very much. The notion of Pathfinders--professional explorers--appeals to me. It's a lot like the idea of the Harpers, without the directive to meddle on behalf of the Balance. I like the distance between elves and humans, and the notion that half-elves are rare and REALLY out of place. And I really like the folks who are creating this emerging world. That's a talented, energetic, and highly professional group of people over at Paizo, really a joy to work with. |

Hey, I laughed at it.
Either way, it's good news for me that you find Golarion interesting, as it makes it more likely that you'd do more work in that world after this journal fiction. Paizo do have a novel line too! |

Thank you Elaine, that is great insight on his nature. I will probally use the lich progression in 3ED to stat him out (Wiz. 11 level). Also on Kharza i will place him around the clerical heart of his house! The basements that also contain the Shrine of Lloth and he can develop items and be a controller for the Gaurdians of the Maze and clerical heart of his house. Controlling golems and undead to there best postions in house defense!!
I have also changed the Xorlarrin weapon master around giving him progression in the PRC Kyorlin Velve from Thomas Costa web enhancment. That and rounding out the list of masters will be my next task!
Thank again Elaine you for your time and take care. |

| -Elaine, I was just given A Reader's Guide to R.A. Salvatore's The Legend of Drizzt as a birthday present. Flipping through it, I was impressed. Certainly, you've enough Forgotten Realms novels to deserve a similar treatment (though, there's no '20th Anniversary Celebration' or anything like that, that I am aware of, concerning any of your Forgotten Realms novels/characters). I know that you aren't affiliated with WotC, but you kind of are, and yes, and no, maybe, but do you think such a kind of encyclopedia book, concerning your novels and characters, could be something printed in the future? Would you want something like that? Obviously, of course, if you didn't, then if they came to you entertaining the idea, and you declined...Well, I'm rambling, but I'm sure you get the gist of what I am saying. |

Hi, Dagnirion.
Thanks for the thought, but I don't envision anything of this sort happening. For one thing, I don't have a signature characters, such as RAS's Drizzt, Ed Greenwood's Elminster, and Paul Kemp's Cale. There just isn't enough material about any one of my characters. Drizzt has an enormous following, and Elminster for many years was THE voice of the Realms, so annotated, encylopedic tomes make perfect sense for them. For a group of disparate characters . . . not so much.
Also, some of the locales I frequented have quite literally fallen off the map. Why destroy Halruaa and Evermeet, then create an encyclopedia detailing lands and cultures that are no longer a part of the setting? I've written a lot about elves, but they too have changed greatly.
Also, Elminster and Drizzt are still alive, whereas it's unlikely that many of my characters survived the spellplague and the 100-year time jump.
The anthology Best of the Realms Book III: The Stories of Elaine Cunningham was a nice summation of my time in the Realms. I'm pleased and honored that WotC felt such a collection was warranted. Anything more than that, however, is unlikely. |

When someone posts on this thread, I get an email. So I'm aware of what's happening here even if I don't check the general forums. |

Hi, PDK.
I wish I could claim partial credit for the Pathfinder Chronicles, but I have had no part in the creation of the game products. As tempting as the occasional foray into game design might be, I've come to the conclusion that I should leave it to the experts (or the talented amateurs, for that matter.)
My project is a serial novella in six parts, published in the Pathfinder Journals section of the monthly adventure magazines. I think the first episode will be in the January issue, then monthly thereafter.
I'm having fun with the Channi Ti. She's a half-elf who has no use for elves and usually passes as human, a kickass druid who feels a kinship for nature's preditors. No tree-hugging here. None. |

In all candor, I don't KNOW what happened to any of my characters. Given the life expectancy and circumstances of some, I wouldn't expect them to survive. It's possible that a few are still around. I haven't actually discussed the fate of my characters with anyone from WotC, with the exception of Azariah Craulnober. |

Novella... journals section... monthly....
ARE PRE-ORDERS AVAILABLE NOW? 
I love all the great new lore generated by the new Pathfinder products, but have been longing to learn about the setting "with a story," or "through the eyes of novel heroes/villains/characters," so I hope I'm getting my hopes up for something that might do that for me here... please say it will! |
